Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 320 Don’t ask. If you ask, it means you don’t like him.

Xia Lin actually felt quite amused. This Duke Lu was a rather important figure. How come he had the nerve to stay here despite all the misfortunes and setbacks?

But after a second thought, he understood. Isn't the Third Prince here? In the eyes of the Third Prince, this guy is just like a dog, but in his eyes, the Third Prince is the core of the Dandy, their backbone.

However, Xia Lin felt that the Third Prince was a very smart man. He knew where to go to avoid the coming storm. After all, the old emperor's handover of power was to hide himself and then see who was causing trouble. Compared to the Li family, which had almost established itself in the north but had not yet said it openly, the greatest threat to the dynasty now lay in the capital and among the high-ranking officials.

It's funny to say, but in fact even Emperor Hongbao doesn't have any particularly good solutions. As I said, his ability is not that strong. He just has been in the position of emperor for too long, and practice makes perfect.

"Him?" Princess Pingyang showed disdain. "If I hadn't suddenly had a stomachache, I would have beaten him to death, and the Lu family wouldn't have said a word. They are just a small family of dukes."

"He is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan."

"Go and ask around, who among the five surnames ranks first."

As they were talking, the Third Prince and Duke Lu were about to pass by them. However, what Xia Lin never expected was that Princess Li actually stopped them with chopsticks in her hand: "Wait."

The Third Prince and Duke Lu were both top-notch playboys, and there were also several lackeys. Before they could react to being stopped, one of the lackeys started laughing: "Hey, where did this little lady come from? What's wrong? Which brother did you fall for?"

It was normal to tease someone. Xia Lin didn't know how many times he would say such things to her every day. But who knew that Princess Pingyang suddenly grabbed the chopsticks and directly nailed them into the man's thigh. Then she stood up and said, "You are so brave. You even dare to tease me."

She spoke with murderous intent, completely different from Princess Pingyang who was looking around in fear of being seen by acquaintances as Xia Lin held her hand and wiped perfume on her.

This is the Princess Pingyang who was so skilled in the battlefield and could wear armor and slap her ex-husband in the face.

After the Third Prince and Duke Lu saw clearly who this person was, they were shocked. They ignored the lackeys who were crying out in pain and bowed to the Princess of the Li family.

"So Sanniang is here too, hahahaha...what a coincidence..."

The Third Prince smiled and said perfunctorily, obviously wanting to say hello and run away, but Duke Lu was a complete bastard. He pulled the Third Prince's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, last time I offended Princess Pingyang unintentionally, and I was arrested and thrown into jail, and then I was beaten by Li Erfeng... Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me."

Call the shots?

The Third Prince now wished he could melt a pot of boiling water for him, and he was still in charge. He was an unfavored prince, and she was a princess of a foreign family who commanded the three armies. In the capital, he could still rely on the face of the royal family to support himself, but in this place where the emperor was far away, if his mother was beaten by Princess Pingyang, no one would stand up for him.

Moreover, if he really offended this kind of plague god outside, he would be summoned back to Beijing by his father and brothers. Would he be able to have a good life when he returned to Beijing?

So the Third Prince suddenly had an idea and kept making eye contact with Xia Lin who was sitting next to him and watching the show. After Xia Lin made eye contact with him, he gently pointed at the table and raised his hand: "Boss, another serving of wontons and five buns. I'll treat the Third Prince to a meal."

"Okay, okay." The Third Prince climbed down the ladder and said, "Lord Xia is inviting me to dinner, so I can't refuse. Lu, you should solve the grudge between you and Sister Pingyang by yourself. Don't lose your dignity as a man because of this."

This sentence made Duke Lu lose face, but it was indeed consistent with the actions of this unreliable third prince. He really was that kind of person. Everything he did seemed to be arbitrary and irrelevant.

"Lord Lu, we need to settle our accounts."

Princess Pingyang took out a horse whip from behind her waist and said, "Although you are a county duke, you cannot escape the crime of rebellion. Do you want to kneel down and be whipped today, or do you want me to go to your Lu family to seek justice?"

Lord Lu's lips were trembling at this moment. Although he knew that kneeling down to be whipped was just a small matter, in winter, everyone wore more clothes, so he could be whipped as many times as he wanted, without hurting his muscles or bones. But what should he do about his face? He was a duke after all, and being whipped on the street by someone, especially a woman, was really unscrupulous.

But the question is, should the eldest princess of the Li family really go to the Lu family to seek justice? No kidding, we are all from northern families, who doesn't know how domineering the Li family is? No kidding, the northern families can unite to fight against the Li family, but if they go one by one, it will be in vain.

Maybe the emperor would give some face to the Lu family, but not to the Li family. They are used to being arrogant, and everyone knows it. No one would become enemies with the Li family because of such a small conflict.

Duke Lu had been looking for help from his elder brother, the Third Prince. But the Third Prince was busy eating his buns until they were juicy. Princess Li was watching closely, with the whip in her hand already raised.

"Your Highness, are you really not going to care? I finally have a little brother."

"Heh." The Third Prince glanced at Lord Lu and said, "Him? I treat him as a brother, but he treats me as a fool. Guess why he stayed here after suffering such a great injustice? He was just waiting for me to stand up for him and cause a big mess in your Fuliang County."

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

"I'm sick." The third prince rolled his eyes. "I'm causing trouble at this time, and on my eldest brother's territory. Isn't this just making things difficult for myself? Think about it, isn't this the truth?"

"That's true." The Third Prince laughed secretly after saying this. "Besides, if it was someone else, I would have let it go out of my way out of consideration, but it's this female insect that I dare not do."

"Big bug?" Xia Lin was stunned: "She is quite gentle."

"Wen Wan? No, brother, have you caught a cold these days? She is Wen Wan? Why did the barbarians go around Shanxi and Jiming Mountain to fight here? Do you think the barbarians don't know to come from Yumen and Yangguan? They can't get through. It was this lady who guarded Yangguan back then. Think about it, how old she was back then, and she led 80 people to chase the barbarians of 3,000 for 180 miles. I provoke her? Am I sick?"

No wonder, no wonder this Princess Li is even more arrogant than Li Shimin, just like she laughed at Wang Shichong yesterday... saying that Wang Shichong was a loser, but in fact Wang Shichong was not a loser at all. In serious history, he was one of the top three in comprehensive ability in the melee at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

The last time the army was so disastrously defeated was mainly because it was surrounded by Li Shimin on the left, Li Jing on the right, Guo Da at the bottom, and there was a Guo Shi from Shanxi charging straight at him from above. He fought alone against the Jinsui faction, the Northwest faction, the Central Army and the Guanning Cavalry, and yet he was able to hold the area from Xuzhou to Haizhou safely, but he was unable to capture it for two or three years.

Although this was due to the fact that the imperial court had been unable to fight these days, it was enough to show that Wang Shichong was not that incompetent and he had many capable people under his command.

While Xia Lin was thinking, Princess Pingyang's whip had already hit Duke Lu. He was hiding from her, and he couldn't escape even if he had wings...

"okay."

After seeing that the whip had hit the bull's eye several times, Xia Lin raised his hand and grabbed Princess Pingyang's whip: "Don't upset the fetus."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Xia Lin. Even the Third Prince froze in place, forgetting to chew the bun in his mouth.

"You are talking nonsense again!" Princess Pingyang turned around and was about to whip Xia Lin as well. At this moment, the princess was already flushed and her warrior genes were fully activated.

Then guess what, she was too excited and moved too much, the knife wound broke, and blood immediately stained her clothes and dripped down the corners of her clothes.

"You unlucky thing."

Xia Lin cursed and without saying a word, he picked up Princess Pingyang. At this moment, her adrenaline began to gradually subside. The pain came again, and the blood spurted out like crazy.

It was all over her, on Xia Lin, and everywhere.

Xia Lin had not exercised much, so his physical fitness was really poor. He felt out of breath after running for a short distance. At this moment, he saw Li Shimin rushing over. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong..."

"Ask your suicidal sister yourself." Xia Lin carried Princess Pingyang forward a little: "I can't carry her anymore...you take over...quickly!"

Li Shimin was at a loss for what to do. He hesitated for a while, then rushed to the shop next door, grabbed the door panel and came over. Then he put the princess on it. Xia Lin took off his coat and fixed her in place. Then the two of them carried the princess and trotted to the medical school.

Dong Niang took over the consultation. She stopped Pingyang's bleeding while scolding Xia Lin.

Of course she also scolded the princess... As for Dong Niang, when she gets angry, she will say something bad to everyone.

"Don't get angry, don't get angry. When you get angry, your pulse will be strong and your blood will surge. It's easy to get blood that can't be stopped. If you can't stop the bleeding, you'll die. How can you be so magnanimous as a woman?"

Princess Pingyang was lying there with her eyes closed. She felt weak all over, dizzy, and her eyes were black. She was almost fainting.

"Don't faint." Dong Niang took out a golden needle and stabbed her with it: "If you faint, you won't wake up." The severe pain made the princess scream out, and adrenaline took effect again. Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped at this time, but it would take a while to clean the wound and suture it again.

At this moment, Xia Lin was covered in blood and looked quite scary sitting there.

Li Shimin squatted beside him with a pale face. He looked back at Xia Lin from time to time and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

"Don't look at me either. Your sister insisted on beating someone up. Now look what happened. The person is fine, but she beat herself up and made her bleed." Xia Lin rolled his eyes. "You see, if this story gets out, she'll be laughed at for 20 years."

"Twenty years is probably too little." Li Shimin wiped his face and said, "It will be recorded in history..."

Xia Lin thought about it and suddenly felt that this was very possible. In the future history books, there might be a sentence like this: "Book of the Later Wei Dynasty: Records of National Men: In the winter of Hongbao XX, the daughter of Li Yuan, the King of Tang in the Northwest, whipped the Duke of the County in a busy street, and the latter bled profusely and was on the verge of death."

Because it has to be calculated separately from Cao Wei, people generally call the Great Wei the Later Wei. The behavior of princes and princesses holding official positions will generally be recorded in the National Records, so it is basically certain that Princess Pingyang will make people smile when they read this in the future.

Who the hell said historians don't understand humor? Isn't this humorous enough?
Xia Lin changed his clothes and took a shower, but there was always a smell of rust in his nostrils. This was because his olfactory memory had recorded the smell of the princess's blood. It would probably take a while to completely get rid of it.

Dong Niang took about two hours to perform this operation. When Xia Lin walked in to see the princess, she was lying there drinking milk. This stuff was specially provided by the medical school and was a good thing that only patients who were temporarily unable to eat could drink.

"Let me tell you, your brother is not a good person." Xia Lin came over and directly complained about Li Shimin: "I said I couldn't hold you anymore, but he refused to take over and insisted on tearing down the door."

At this moment, Li Shimin also walked in and said, "You are talking nonsense. Men should avoid their sisters and mothers."

"You? Is this something you, Li Shimin, can say? That's not right, Dirty Tang... Never mind, you are not a good person anyway." Xia Lin shook his arms: "Look, my arms are still shaking."

Li Shimin pointed at Xia Lin and said, "I haven't said that you took advantage of my sister yet, but you're talking about me now."

"How did I take advantage of her? A bowl of blood tofu? Look at what she got me covered in."

When she heard about the bowl of blood tofu, Princess Pingyang laughed even though her lips turned pale. She lay there and shouted, "Alright, alright, shut up. I want some peace and quiet."

Dong Niang stood up with a stick in her hand and pointed at the door to the two strongest people in the world: "Get out!"

The two men walked out of the ward with droopy brows and squatted on both sides of the corridor. Li Shimin suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Lin and said, "You are in big trouble now."

"What's my trouble?"

"Just wait and see." Li Shimin laughed sinisterly. "Today's incident will be known all over the world in a few days. They will say that you and Princess Pingyang had a child. When Princess Pingyang was beating you in the street, her fetus moved, and you took the princess away to give birth to the child."

"Fuck? So outrageous?"

"They won't miss this opportunity." Li Shimin suddenly laughed: "Damn it, ridiculous."

Xia Lin thought about it and scratched his face: "Then how do I explain it to my wife?"

"Who cares about you? The key now is how I explain to my father. The rumor was that you and my sister were having an affair, which is why Chai Shao ran away in anger. Now the child is born, and there is no way to explain it."

This problem was really too serious. Xia Lin hadn't even thought about it carefully. After all, he was in his own territory. But if he could use public opinion, others could use it too. This gave people a reason to criticize him.

"What should I do?"

"What should I do? Either you divorce Princess Changle and marry my sister, or wait for my father to sue you."

"What are you talking about!" Xia Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Let your sister be the younger one."

"I strangle you!"

Li Shimin jumped up and was about to hit Xia Lin, but at this moment the door of the ward opened, revealing Dong Niang's stick, pointing at the two of them: "Be quiet or get out."

The two of them fell silent at once. The younger Er Feng sighed, "It's a pity that I'm not an emperor. I tell you, if I were an emperor, I would be sorry to my sister if I didn't skin you alive."

"You skinned me alive, and your sister will never recognize you again in this life. She is a loyal person, so you killed her savior, right?"

"Come on, how important do you think you are? Kill me if you want."

Xia Lin sneered, "Sun thief! I'm leaving this to you. No matter whether we meet in the court or on the battlefield in the future, I will let you see how important I am."

"Bah! Arrogant!"

At this moment, the door of the ward opened again, and Dong Niang's stool flew over. Xia Lin caught it quickly, and Dong Niang walked out angrily: "Are you done? The patient needs to rest. She is in danger now."

"Walk around..."

Xia Lin put down the stool and pulled Li Shimin out. Then the two of them squatted in the yard outside and started arguing again, from political identity to the education of their children. Anyway, these two people did not have a single point of view that could be consistent. They were simply enemies born from the same mother.

"I've figured it out." Li Shimin was pulling weeds while muttering, "No one of us will have a good life if we fall into the hands of the other. Let's make a promise first. When that day comes, we will kill each other and at least make a name for ourselves."

"Okay, how do you plan to die, by taking poison or hanging yourself?"

"No beheading?"

"Hey! How can the body of the emperor be attacked by swords and axes?"

This sentence gave Li Shimin a shock. He straightened up and frowned, "Yuan Tiangang said the same thing about me... He said I was the body of the Son of Heaven. There were omens in the Tui Bei Tu he and Li Chunfeng co-authored. Have you also read Tui Bei Tu? No, that's not right. Even I haven't read it. Those two bull noses won't let me see it."

Xia Lin was silent for a while: "Then was I mentioned in the Tui Bei Tu?"

"That's not the case, but there was a demon star mentioned, saying that if I can cross the calamity of the demon star, I will become the Son of Heaven, and if I can't cross it, I will be a commoner. You are most likely that demon star."

Xia Lin pursed his lips and said, "When will you introduce those two to me?"

"Okay, it seems that Yuan Shoucheng will be here soon. He is Yuan Tiangang's uncle and his abilities are far more powerful than Yuan Tiangang's. I will introduce him to you when the time comes."

"Yuan Shoucheng." Xia Lin's eyes turned: "Fuck, the Dragon King of Jinghe..."

"What? Oh, he's in the Journey to the West that you wrote. It seems like you already knew his name. He came to look for you just because of the Journey to the West."

Xia Lin scratched his head as he listened. This is great... all the great masters are here, it’s a great gathering.

Eh? If this setting is followed, will Shi Feixuan and Wanwan appear? Although he didn't remember whether he had written about specific people, it seemed that there were these martial arts sects in the setting.

Well... I want to meet Wanwan. I heard that she is a stunning beauty. She sounds very exciting when I mention her.
